Constant Conversation W/God April 24

The apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith (that trust and confidence that spring from our belief in God).

Developing My AWE-GOD With An Attitude Of Gratitude!

AWE-GOD Gratefulness 2012! Jesus today I am grateful for Your Mercy, it is constant and true, it is consistent and continuous and I am so thankful for it. In my human condition, I am working out my salvation, learning and growing daily, and hoping huge that from every moment into every choice, I make the right decision the 1st time! Suddenly things can go so crazy and suddenly I can impulsively slam into my human condition. Forgiveness and mercy is something I can't take for granted, I am so grateful for it, because in my learning and growing I am stumbling here and there. Yet there you are, your hands of mercy held out to me. AWE-GOD! I am so grateful!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbq3nRFuhfU

Holy Spirit Inspired…. He speaks, I listen and obey… Thank you for teaching Me!

Galatians 1:12 (NLT) I received my message from no human source, and no

one taught me. Instead, I received it by direct revelation from Jesus Christ.

Battlefield Of The Mind By Joyce Meyer #44

Mark 11:20-24

In the morning, when they were passing along, they noticed that the fig tree was withered [completely] away to its roots. 21 And Peter remembered and said to Him, Master, look! The fig tree which You doomed has withered away! 22 And Jesus, replying, said to them, Have faith in God [constantly]. 23 Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him. 24 For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it].

When you say the words, "I wonder," they sound innocent and honest. They also represent the way we avoid certainty in making decisions. Joyce Meyer

The problem is that if we allow enough of these "wonderings" in our lives, we not only fail to accomplish the things we need to do, but wondering becomes the normal way our mind functions. Being indecisive keeps us from moving forward and can eventually defeat us. Joyce Meyer

The disciples could have wasted time wondering about the particulars of the tree… When Jesus spoke and doomed the tree, He put a stop to any mental speculation. He used the incident as an object lesson for the disciples, encouraging them to believe.

God gave us the ability to make wise choices! Just Do It! Don't Waste Time Wondering! Believe God! Act In Faith! Joyce Meyer

Wondering and indecision can become strongholds in our minds that can leave us feeling confused, insecure, and ineffective. But that's not God's plan. He wants us to overcome the wondering thoughts by believing and then receiving the answer to our prayers from God, by faith. Joyce Meyer

Jesus has given us permission to step out in faith and ask boldly-yet some still waste time wondering. Joyce Meyer

My Thoughts About This = Miraculous Musings! J

This was totally for me today…. Yes… duuuhhh of course it was, God led me to it by His Holy Spirit. He cares so much about me that He tweaks those areas in my faith where I am going in the wrong direction. Yes, I have been wondering and all that wondering has done is make me confused and steal away my clarity and also make me discouraged. Yes I need to step out in faith, ask and believe. Just do it! No more wondering! Just believe!

Joyce Meyer: Promises for Your Everyday Life - a Daily Devotional

Psalm 46:10Let be and be still, and know (recognize and understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth!

Stillness Before God By Joyce Meyer

One of the most important things we can learn in this day and hour is how to be still.

I believe that one of the significant reasons so many of us are burned out and stressed out is that we don't know how to be still. We don't really know God and do not acknowledge Him. And it's only by spending time getting to know Him that we learn to hear His still, small voice so that He can direct our paths.

We need to learn to be quiet on the inside and stay in that peaceful state so that we are always ready to hear the Lord's voice. Many people today run from one thing to the next. Because their minds don't know how to be still, they don't know how to be still in their heart.

If we'll just slow down and quiet our minds enough to hear His promptings, we can live in a place of peace, ready to respond obediently. It is easy to see that leading a peaceful, happy life, free from exhaustion and burnout, is not all that complicated, as long as we remain still before God.

Prayer Starter: Lord, I recognize that You alone are God. I know that stillness before You is important, so show me how to remain settled and peaceful inside, always ready to hear Your voice.

In the morning, when they were passing along, they noticed that the fig tree was withered [completely] away to its roots. 21 And Peter remembered and said to Him, Master, look! The fig tree which You doomed has withered away! 22 And Jesus, replying, said to them, Have faith in God [constantly]. 23 Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him. 24 For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it].

Constantly! Have Faith In God! Completely-Constantly-Consistently! Oh Lord, let it be so in me, in us! A constant conversation of faith, a consistent belief, a complete hope in YOU and with You! Always! Persistent-Relentless faith and belief is what we hope for, a faith saturated with the passion of Jesus' heart. This is very possible as we let go and let God, as we give God time to work out His purposes in our lives. God's Got This!

The purposes of God are in play all around me today. Will I stop and wonder how, why, when or what Jesus will do. Will I completely frazzle my mind trying to figure out God's every move, or trying to direct God's purposes towards my comfort zone? Or will I surrender to God in complete trust and step out in faith into His purposes already in play for me?

God's Purposes! Will I step into them by faith or will I side step them, following after my wondering unbelief or my wandering selfishness? Am I wondering and wandering away from the truth at hand, the Kingdom purposes in play? Jesus said it! Jesus did it! I don't have to figure it out! Just pure followship! Let it be so in me, in us! Constantly-Continuously-Consistently noticing Jesus and His all in our everything!

Omnipresent Reality Check! Am I "openhearted" and All-In with Jesus right now? Heart Check! It begins with my belief in HIM! Do I Constantly-Continuously-Consistently believe? Why is this important? Because, this is what Jesus wants, a belief without wondering, a faith without wavering! No Why! No Doubt! He wants us to ask Him anything in faith, without wondering and wandering into doubt.

Jesus wants us to believe that He Can! No Doubt About It!A Completely-Constantly-Consistently In Christ! I need to stop trying to figure things out, just take God at His Spoken Word and let my followship be a pure trust in an AWE-GOD, Who loves me, Who loved me with His very life. There is no greater Infinite Love to guide me and grow me to and through His Sovereign Will for me.

Our Way-Maker Guides Us With An Infinite Love! There Is No One Like Him!There Is No Greater Love! No wonderings because they lead to wandering away from my Way-Maker! For me, there is only belief, believing wholeheartedly in what Jesus did, can do and will do and keeping an open-hearted trust. He doesn't have to explain anything to me, I will just believe and hope HUGE in HIM. Jesus I hope HUGE you find me today always being Completely-Constantly-Consistently YOURS! Jesus! All-In!

Exhortation- The Shepherd's Communicated Love-Wisdom!

Honestly right now, I am not totally sure where I stand on: Once Saved Always Saved. For myself, I believe in learning in "Context" not pulling things out of scripture and making "causes" out of them, and God has not assigned many "causes" to me as much as He has assigned me to encourage and point people to Jesus. So I do respect your call to this cause, but I am not studied enough to talk about it with any wisdom, just opinion. Personally I am not perfect, I make mistakes, they are not habitual sins, because in a relationship with God for me that would be impossible, I am constantly wanting to be pure and holy aligned with HIM out of love, not duty. It is my love for Him that compels me to obey Him completely, with great respect and AWE. When I do mess up though, I am so thankful for His forgiveness that loves, teaches and grows me. I wish you well with your site, may God bless you much and use you in that special way He has designed for you.

Do You Want To Think Right Thoughts? Meditate On The Word Of God! Joyce Meyer

Meditate On The Word? Think On It – Roll It Over In Your Mind – Mutter It!

Dread is a close cousin to fear! Don't Dread! Don't Dread Something You Have To Do Anyway! What's The Point?

Miracles come in "cans", they don't come in "can'ts"! You can have a "can" of miracles!

I will not dread this day, I will enjoy it! I am going to enjoy it because it is my right as a child of God

You feel the way you feel because you think the way you think. Joyce Meyer

Whosoever will… the promises of God are for everyone!

You better control your mind, because if you don't the devil will.

Have an I AM, I Have, I Can Mind! I am a child of God, I have the mind of Christ! I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me.

Judges 6:11-17

Now the Angel of the Lord came and sat under the oak (terebinth) at Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, and his son Gideon was beating wheat in the winepress to hide it from the Midianites.12 And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, The Lord is with you, you mighty man of [fearless] courage.13 And Gideon said to him, O sir, if the Lord is with us, why is all this befallen us? And where are all His wondrous works of which our fathers told us, saying, Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt? But now the Lord has forsaken us and given us into the hand of Midian.14 The Lord turned to him and said, Go in this your might, and you shall save Israel from the hand of Midian. Have I not sent you?15 Gideon said to Him, Oh Lord, how can I deliver Israel? Behold, my clan is the poorest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.16 The Lord said to him, Surely I will be with you, and you shall smite the Midianites as one man.17 Gideon said to Him, If now I have found favor in Your sight, then show me a sign that it is You Who talks with me.Amplified Bible

God wants to use you, you have to see yourself the way God see's YOU. He called you!

Look at Gideon's pitiful response to the angel that appeared to him. VS 13 All the excuses as to why he could not do it, he was so focused on himself and his situation. Then in VS 14 God asked Gideon Have not I sent you? Wow… Have not I sent you? Remember Who has called you and be called to Him 1st! This is so for me. I feel so inadequate in this new God Adventure and I keep telling God why I can't do it, why I am not enough, why I will not be able to get it done. He is saying to me: Look at me… fully face ME, am I not enough? Have I not sent you? Ouch! Okay now…. Wow!!

VS 15 Gideon… how can I do it? I don't have the money to do it. I don't have the position to do it! I am the very least? Why me?

God says to me today if I asked you to do it, you can do it! I can do it through you!

Gideon and me are looking at ourselves and our situation, not at AWE-GOD!! Refocus!!! Fully Face God!

Learn how to agree with God! Jesus teach me how to agree with You, to be empowered by Your promise, purpose and possibility!

God wants us to agree with HIM that He can do anything He wants through us, it doesn't matter our finances, our education, our current situation, He can do it because He initiated it with great Kingdom purpose, with great Kingdom power behind it!

God wants us to have tenacity! Joyce Meyer

Numbers 13:25-27

And they returned from scouting out the land after forty days.26 They came to Moses and Aaron and to all the Israelite congregation in the Wilderness of Paran at Kadesh, and brought them word, and showed them the land's fruit.27 They told Moses, We came to the land to which you sent us; surely it flows with milk and honey. This is its fruit.28 But the people who dwell there are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large; moreover, there we saw the sons of Anak [of great stature and courage].29 Amalek dwells in the land of the South (the Negeb); the Hittite, the Jebusite, and the Amorite dwell in the hill country; and the Canaanite dwells by the sea and along by the side of the Jordan [River].30 Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once and possess it; we are well able to conquer it.31 But his fellow scouts said, We are not able to go up against the people [of Canaan], for they are stronger than we are.32 So they brought the Israelites an evil report of the land which they had scouted out, saying, The land through which we went to spy it out is a land that devours its inhabitants. And all the people that we saw in it are men of great stature.33 There we saw the Nephilim [or giants], the sons of Anak, who come from the giants; and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.Amplified Bible

My Thoughts About This = Miraculous Musings! J

All those years in the wilderness and all they heard about was the Promise Land and when they finally got there and saw the fruit, how big it was, they did not focus on that they said: BUT…. Caleb and Joshua were known with the reputation of men with a "different spirit", they had no BUTs to say, in fact Caleb said let's go now! There was no over thinking it there was just stepping out in faith. I over think way too much this new adventure God has tasked me with. I look at the giants everyday and think and think… how can I overcome them? Stop!!!! Just step out like Caleb and quiet the fears and go at once, take the next step!!

1 Samuel 17: 38-50

Then Saul clothed David with his armor; he put a bronze helmet on his head and clothed him with a coat of mail.39 And David girded his sword over his armor. Then he tried to go, but could not, for he was not used to it. And David said to Saul, I cannot go with these, for I am not used to them. And David took them off.40 Then he took his staff in his hand and chose five smooth stones out of the brook and put them in his shepherd's [lunch] bag [a whole kid's skin slung from his shoulder], in his pouch, and his sling was in his hand, and he drew near the Philistine.41 The Philistine came on and drew near to David, the man who bore the shield going before him.42 And when the Philistine looked around and saw David, he scorned and despised him, for he was but an adolescent, with a healthy reddish color and a fair face.43 And the Philistine said to David, Am I a dog, that you should come to me with sticks? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.44 The Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field.45 Then said David to the Philistine, You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the ranks of Israel, Whom you have defied.46 This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will smite you and cut off your head. And I will give the corpses of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.47 And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saves not with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord's, and He will give you into our hands.48 When the Philistine came forward to meet David,David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet the Philistine.49 David put his hand into his bag and took out a stone and slung it, and it struck the Philistine, sinking into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth.50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck down the Philistine and slew him. But no sword was in David's hand.

My Thoughts About This = Miraculous Musings! J

David did not overthink it, He did what God asked of him even though it seemed impossible and he ran quickly toward what God asked Him to do….. No overthinking! Overthinking shrinks up your courage until it is gone! It could not have happened without God, but miracles come in "cans", I can do all things with God.

Just like David did, you have to press through the negative to accomplish the positive will of God.

Numbers 13:33

33 There we saw the Nephilim [or giants], the sons of Anak, who come from the giants; and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.Amplified Bible

As I face the giants in my situation, do I see myself as a Grasshopper or a child of Almighty AWE-God? Num. 13:33

Pastor Bruce did a great job on the message about suffering Sunday. Touch message. One thing that spoke to me clearly was: The challenges we face are never greater than the purposes and Presence of God at work in us! I also love one the scriptures he used, Jeremiah 29:11 it is one of my favorites, always reminding me that no matter what, I do have a great future and hope. Hope you all are having a great week!

Prayer Mentoring All-IN With Jesus-Healer-Comforter-Encourager

You know what is so amazingly cool about our God, He doesn't remember!!!!! Human beings, we remember things that He forgets. The bible says in Psalm 103 (which is my favorite psalm) that God throws our sins away as far as the east is from the west… I love how the Message Bible reads:

Psalm 103: 6-18God makes everything come out right; he puts victims back on their feet. He showed Moses how he went about his work, opened up his plans to all Israel. God is sheer mercy and grace; not easily angered, he's rich in love. He doesn't endlessly nag and scold, nor hold grudges forever. He doesn't treat us as our sins deserve, nor pay us back in full for our wrongs. As high as heaven is over the earth, so strong is his love to those who fear him. And as far as sunrise is from sunset, he has separated us from our sins.
